These con artists and unethical merchants regard the senior citizen as a favorite target. Although there are many laws designed to protect you, your best protection is your own awareness of these laws and knowledge of the gyps and the gimmicks used by these fly-by-night salesmen. As a senior citizen, you must also be aware of the many buying checklists available which will help you spend your savings wisely and help you avoid the many consumer pitfalls. Hold on to your savings Phoney Bank Inspector Be constantly on guard against men posing as bank inspectors. Their usual ploy is to telephone you and ask your help in ap- prehending a bank thief. They will ask you to take money out of your account and hand it over to -.btfe Okthese so-called "inspectors". Remember, no bank will ever call you and ask that you take money out of' your account to help catch a supposed thief. When this happens, call the police and the bank immediately. Do not withdraw money from your account. Work-at-home Employment Schemes Be wary of companies that may advertise home employment schemes in which you must buy a knitting machine or some other equipment with the promise that the company will purchase the finished articles if they meet certain standards. One such scheme involves home weaving looms. You are told you can make hundreds of dollars a month in your spare time by purchasing a machine. Your products, no matter how good, may never meet the company standard. Of course. all the company was inter- ested in was selling the loom in the first place. Hearing Aids and Glasses If you have a hearing or sight problem, always consult with your family doctor. He will refer you to a specialist to determine whether a hearing aid or glasses will help with your particular problem. Buy only from reputable dealers who will guarantee their work and provide proper fittings. Money Saving Tips • Always ask for identification when dealing with a door-to-door salesman. He should have a company card. If in doubt, ask him to return, then check with the Consumer Protection Bureau. An honest salesman won't mind this procedure. • Know the implications. A contract is a legal document. • Never sign a blank contract or sheet of paper. Always read and understand the small print. If in doubt check with the Bureau or your lawyer. • Be familiar with brand name goods and costs so you can compare merchandise. • Always deal with known, respected and established com- panies. • Always demand a written receipt for goods purchased. • Make sure you understand and know exactly the total cost of your purchase. Add up those monthly charges. Remember, the law protects but it doesn't guarantee the quality of merchandise, its price or the integrity of the salesman. • Compare price quotations with those of other firms. • Learn to say NC) if you're not interested in buying a product or service from a salesman. • Never sign a document just to get rid of a salesman, • Never pay cash to a door-to-door salesman. Make your cheque or money order payable to the firm. • Before signing any contract, make sure the name and address of the firm is included. • Be wary of "life-time" guarantees. Always understated exactly what the guarantee means. Questions to ask when buying I. Do I really need and want this article? Do I need it now? 2. Is it within my budget?
